Alex and Josh's DC Wedding

"So glad I swiped right because you truly are my best friend and greatest love." - Alex to Josh during their vows at the DC War Memorial.

Alex and Josh met on Tinder while living in DC. The couple also got engaged here, so it was only fitting that they chose to begin their new life in DC. The couple proclaimed their love for each other on a gorgeous June day at the DC War Memorial. Alex and Josh’s adorable dog, Stanley, served as the ring bearer!

The reception was held at the Daughters of the American Revolution. One of our favorite moments of the day is when the couple had their first dance outside on the terrace (SO dreamy!).

We love how the couple incorporated Stanley into the day. Check out the escort wall below!

Alex is a talented wedding planner and owner of Alexandra Nesterak Events here in the DC area. We were honored when she asked us to capture her special day!

Chloe and Jay's Baltimore, MD Wedding featured on BRIDES

Chloe and Jay’s wedding is one of our most memorable to date. On their wedding day, Chloe’s dad had a very special surprise for her for the father-daughter dance.

Kaitlyn and Matt's Stone Tower Winery Wedding | Leesburg, VA

Stone Tower Winery is one stunning backdrop for a dream wedding! We have been lucky enough to film at this venue several times and we always look forward to going back. Kaitlyn and Matt’s fall wedding was flawless! One of our favorite parts was seeing the couple’s dog, Copper, as part of the wedding ceremony. In their wedding highlight video, you can see Copper carrying the wedding rings on his back! If you ask us, we always think it’s a great idea to have your dog part of your big day!
